Answer : C
Explanation: Whenever y is divisible by x remainder body of loop is skipped by continue

statement, therefore if condition y == 8 is never true as when y is 8, remainder body of loop is
skipped by continue statements of first if. Control comes to print statement only in cases when y
is odd.

Heap and Garbage Collection

Question 210: Which of the following has the highest memory requirement?
a) Heap
b) Stack

Answer : B
Explanation: A mark and sweep garbage collection consists of two phases, the mark phase and
to
the sweep phase. I mark phase all the objects reachable by java threads, native handles and other
root sources are marked alive and others are garbage. In sweep phase, the heap is traversed to
en
find gaps between live objects and the gaps are marked free list used for allocating memory to
new objects.

Overloading Methods & Argument Passing

Question 215: What is the process of defining two or more methods within same class that have
same name but different parameters declaration?
a) method overloading
b) method overriding

Answer : B
Explanation: ascii is an array of integers which contains ascii codes of Characters A, B, C, D.

String(ascii, 1, 3) is an constructor which initializes s with Characters corresponding to ascii
codes stored in array ascii, starting position being given by 1 & ending position by 3, Thus s
stores BCD.
